Differences between IGCSE and GCSE
The GCSE is traditionally studied in schools over two years. Many schools have now with the introduction of the new 9-1 GCSE extended the course to three years starting in year 9. The GCSE is linear (all units taken in one exam series e.g. June).
The ‘I’ in iGCSE stands for International; IGCSEs were introduced in 1988 and are internationally recognised qualifications. Candidates can sit IGCSE examinations all over the world. Offering over 70 subjects, IGCSEs are taken in over 120 countries. IGCSEs do not include coursework IGCSEs are widely accepted by universities and colleges as part of their entry requirements.
